This study was conducted to investigate processing condition and characteristics of chestnut paste. The kinds of chestnut powder processed with blanching and drying of raw material were four named RH(not blanched, hot air dried), RF(not blanched, freeze dried), BH(blanched, hot air dried) and BF(blanched, freeze dried). Blanching affected the reduction of drying time in chestnut. Water absorption index of the blanched samples were higher than the nonblanched. Blanching affected the viscosity of pastes when water was added to process paste also, but drying methods did not affected to it. The proper ratio of water to the powder to process paste was 1.3 to 1.5 times in RH and RF, whereas 2.7 times in BH and BF by sensory evaluation. Soluble tannin content of paste was higher in RF and RH paste than BF and BH. Vitamin C content was the highest(88.49mg/100g) in RF paste and reducing sugar content was the highest in RF paste. Hunter's L and a values were the highest in BF and RH pastes, respectively, among the all paste samples. Volatile compounds detected from chestnutpastes were hydrocarbons, alcohols, phenols, ketones. The major volatile compound in all the pastes was 2,6 bis(1,1 dimethylethyl) 4 methyl phenol.

This study developed a fermented chestnut puree by lactic acid bacteria fermentation using steamed chestnut paste at 95℃ for 90 min and the quality characteristics were investigated. In addition, quality of the characteristics of the fermented chestnut puree during fermentation by lactic acid bacteria were reported. 12 strains of lactic acid bacteria were inoculated to steamed chestnut paste at a concentration of 2%(v/w), respectively, and incubated at 37℃ for 48 hr. Lactobacillus plantarum(KCTC 21004) was the most superior in acid production among 12 strains of lactic acid bacteria to the fermented chestnut puree. The effect of steamed chestnut concentration, inoculum size and fermentation temperature for fermented chestnut puree on physical properties and fermentation characteristics were investigated. As a result there was no significant difference on physiochemical properties but the optimum concentration of the steamed chestnut for puree properties is 50%.

Some teachers do not regard the computation of the sum of the angles of a triangle by using a cut-and-paste or paper-folding method as providing a proof that the sum of the angles of a triangle is equal to two right angles. Some even think that this way of working is not mathematics but more like an experiment in physics. Some see the method as no better than measurement of the angles by a protractor. The author will examine this issue in the teaching and learning of school geometry and more generally as a specific example from the perspective of HPM (History and Pedagogy of Mathematics).

The physicochemical properties of tuber starch in water chestnut have been studied. Peak viscosity, hot paste viscosity and cooling peak viscosity were 5679, 3146 and 4262 RVU, respectively. In three transition parameters, onset temperature ($T_o$), peak temperature ($T_p$), and conclusion temperature ($T_c$) were 64.1, 68.5 and $72.3^{\circ}C$, respectively. Gelatinization enthalpy (${\Delta}H$ gel) was 4.48 J/g. A-type starch has a smaller proportion (11.4%) of short chains ($DP{\geq}12$) and a larger proportion (57.2%) of short chains ($13{\leq}DP{\geq}24$). The tuber starch of water chestnut displayed an A-type X-ray diffraction pattern showing a strong diffraction peak at $2{\Theta}$ values of $15.18^{\circ}$, $17.13^{\circ}$, and $23.1^{\circ}$, and a weak peak at $2{\Theta}$ values of $18.1^{\circ}$, $20.06^{\circ}$, and $26.69^{\circ}$. Their crystallinity was 28.6% and the mean starch granule size was 21.5 ${\mu}m$.

This study investigated the Sachanbalgi, which record the royal feasts given by the royal family of the Joseon Dynasty of Korea. These records are contained within the Gungjung Balgi, which recorded the types and quantity of items used in royal court ceremonies. The Eumsikbalgi is the general name for the records of food found within this document. Using these Eumsikbalgi, and in particular the Sachanbalgi, this study investigated the food eaten and bestowed by the Joseon royal family. The Sachanbalgi describes four categories or occasions of feasts: royal birthdays, childbirth, royal weddings, and funerals. These records allow us to reconstruct who the attendees were and what the table settings and food were for instances not directly indicated in oral records, books, or other documents. The food at these Sachan (feasts) was diverse, being related to the specific event, and its contents varied based on the position of the person who was receiving the food. Usually, Bab (rice) was not found at a Sachanbalgi, and only on two occasions were meals with Bab observed. Specifically, it was served with Gwaktang (seaweed soup) at a childbirth feast. There were seven kinds of soups and stews that appeared in the Sachanbalgi: Gwaktang, Yeonpo (octopus soup), Japtang (mixed food stew), Chogyetang (chilled chicken soup), Sinseonro (royal hot pot), and Yukjang (beef and soybean paste). Nureumjeok (grilled brochette) and Saengchijeok (pheasant), and Ganjeonyueo (pan-fried cow liver fillet) and Saengseonjeonyueo (pan-fried fish fillet) were eaten. Yangjeonyueo, Haejeon, Tigakjeon (pan-fried kelp) and other dishes, known and unknown, were also recorded. Boiled meat slices appeared at high frequency (40 times) in the records; likewise, 22 kinds of rice cake and traditional sweets were frequently served at feasts. Five kinds of non-alcoholic beverages were provided. Seasonal fruits and nuts, such as fresh pear or fresh chestnut, are thought to have been served following the event. In addition, a variety of dishes including salted dry fish, boiled dish, kimchi, fruit preserved in honey, seasoned vegetables, mustard seeds, fish, porridge, fillet, steamed dishes, stir-fried dishes, vegetable wraps, fruit preserved in sugar, and jellied foods were given to guests, and noodles appear 16 times in the records. Courtiers were given Banhap, Tanghap, Myeonhap, wooden bowls, or lunchboxes. The types of food provided at royal events tracked the season. In addition, considering that for feasts food of the royal household was set out for receptions of guests, cooking instructions for the food in the lunchbox-type feasts followed the cooking instructions used in the royal kitchen at the given time. Previous studies on royal cuisine have dealt mostly with the Jineosang presented to the king, but in the Sachanbalgi, the food given by the royal family to its relatives, retainers, and attendants is recorded. The study of this document is important because it extends the knowledge regarding the food of the royal families of the Joseon Dynasty. The analysis of Sachanbalgi and the results of empirical research conducted to reconstruct the precise nature of that food will improve modern knowledge of royal cuisine.
